Reflexivity has been introduced
as a scientific habitus by the famous French Sociologist Pierre
Bourdieu. This habitus is also extremely important for didactics:
Teachers reflect on their acting in the classroom, on their
own personality and last but not least on their concern in the
field of education. This approach helps teachers to optimize
their teaching. It is especially important for the practice
of immersion-teaching, as it enables bilingual teachers to become
researchers in the field of learning of subject-contents as
well as in the field of language-acquisition. Basing her discussion
on the theory of Karl Bühler, the author demonstrates some
different approaches to this sort of applied research. Moreover,
she indicates the political and cultural impacts of language-decision
in immersion-teaching, especially pointing out the dangerous
under-estimation of traditional European languages when focussing
on English-Immersion. |
